    Safety base

    10u and 12u rec and town travel - when is it required to use the safety base for offense and defense?

    Online throwing

    I’m a new head coach for our grade 3/4 travel team, and we’re very inexperienced (10 of the 13 players are playing softball for the first time in a year since they’re new to travel ball and our rec season was canceled last year.)
